I have the webspace, and I dont mind paying for a domain. I think itd be a
great resource to the operators in the area... Repeater Information
Repeater Status Repeater Updates Mailing Lists for updates
I have no idea what format Id like for it to be displayed in ... or what
platform to use (wiki? straight html?)
What are your thoughts on the idea? submitted by neocharles

CB Radio for Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam

Posted: 01 Nov 2014 10:27 PM PDT

Hi there!
I am looking to buy a couple of CB radios to use in Cambodia, Laos and
Vietnam. I am unsure of the legal standing of this type of thing in these
countries and I am having trouble finding information. If anyone would be
able to point me in the right direction that would be great.
I am a licensed amateur radio operator in Australia, but none of the people
I am traveling with are. As such, my preference is to stay away from
amateur bands so that I can talk with my friends without them needing to
get licensed.

Baofeng UV-5X

Hello, r/amateurradio. After 5 yrs of putting down amateur radio, Im
looking to get back into it again and Im pretty intrigued with the new kid
on the block, Baofeng. Full-featured & durable radios on the cheap? Sign me
up!
Im hearing loud and clear that the UV-5R is *the* standard-issue, must-have
Baofeng HT. However, I heard that they just released a new model, the
UV-5X. Wow, talk about one sweet design:
http://www.amazon.com/Function-136-1...&keywords=uv5x
Anyone out there pick this hunk of hotness up yet? How does it compare to
the 5R or the 5B? Does the volume go all the way to 0? Any improvements on
the firmware? submitted by mcnelsn
